lou: how is it mike lee should be so interested in this backlog. it's one of the most specious pieces of reasoning i have seen even by swamp standards. to suggest that equity is based on a backlog rather than a nation's needs. we'll put back president trump's miring tpresident trump'smerito. >> it's a step away from the merit-based system we all snow would be the best system for our country. they are not particularly high skilled. they are ordinary workers. lou: all these employers and the outsourcers. whether you are talking about ibm, they tell you these are the most skilled of all the immigrants in the world and we have to have them. >> it's nonsense. they are ordinary workers doing jobs that americans once did. lou: for lower wages. >> it's all about paying lower wages and not having to bother with americans. by pass u.s. workers. follow the money. as for senator lee, you know, i can't speak to his motives, but he does have a lot of these high-tech companies in his district and a lot of workers there. lou: it's a hotbed of corporate labor arbit

if you go to senator mike lee's office, on capitol hill, he has two staffs, one on legislation -- twotacks, one of legislation and one of regulations. short and then is regulations are six feet tall. it all the straits that we are not governed by congress, but by this fourth branch. judicial appointments are helping with this, not just, even more in the lower courts than the supreme court, having an effect. the problem is that the d.c. circuit that handles so many of these regulatory appeals is still skewed with obama nominees who are nominees who were much more differential to all sorts of agencies. saagar: i want to throw it to the audience. please make your question actually a question. 10 to 15 seconds or i will be forced to cut you off. i think we have mics circulating. i see the first hand over here. >> i don't mean for this question to come across as too lawerly -- lawyerly, but i am one. can you comment on whether this -- theds to be reformed administrative procedures act needs to be reformed and the substantial evidence standard in terms of really reining in the administrativ

the support makes me mad because it makes mike lee wright and he said if mike were a drink of it i would take them out and buy them a drink right now and maybe get him drunk. it sounded like maybe a good time to start drinking but then i thought -- by the way, if you're ever around a mormon starts to make its a bad thing because we haven't built up any tolerance, so just walk away if you ever see that happen. [laughing] >> another question that is been raised that has to do with how the constitution debates wind up being influenced by what policy outcomes we can live with. so the question was put here was, your support for president trump's decision to withdraw troops from syria and get this course you are policy experts saying that the withdrawal was chaotic and there were significant implications as a matter of national security policy for our allies and four u.s. national security. do you have concerns that even the constitutional point you were making was vindicated the policy outcomes should give us pause. >> was sure. i mean look, i'm an admirer of edmund burke, the english statesm

i think senator mike lee as you correctly point out is not always a trump man. he opposed president trump or candidate trump when he was running for president. he hasn't been on the same page all the time. since the president has been the president. the fact that he is so vehemently in support of this president and against impeachment, i think it tells the real story of just how weak this impeachment is, and what is going to happen to it. >> mike lee is many things. he is wicked smart and an incredible technician. to the democrats have anybody on the other side to block and a sentence? >> absolutely. i think you can look at this and leadership for the democrats as a plenty of people that are intellectual -- on this particular point about the democrats not having a strong case, president trump has admitted to everything is accused of on video. he's committed multiple offenses on videotape. this is why -- >> leland: if you're saying that he admitted to multiple offenses meaning a crime, then why didn't the democrats in congress charged with violating a a single fe

you have mike lee coming up, and ted cruz coming up so maybe some of the questions that we are searching for will come up the there. one last thing before we bring martha martha in here. the steele dossier was paid for by democrats and he said a number of people knew. how high it went was not exactly clear. to martha he now and your observations so far as of 12:30? >> a couple of things, just the basic questions as to why the inspector general did not make a finding on political bias with regard to the phis applications themselves. i think that's a question that needs to be asked because as has been pointed out, he has said, it's very clear, and he didn't find political bias in terms of opening the initiation of cross fire hurricanes. that's with regard to the ongoing applications. i think that was in his purview so that was part of what his investigation was, and it would be helpful in terms of going further. bill free sap who was the deputy assistance, counterintelligence deputy, talks about why they didn't brief president trump, and he is not pointing to the principal. they did not gi

joining us now with more is senator mike lee from the great state of utah. also a member of the senate judiciary committee. senator lee, what do you see the proceedings that happened, what was passed in the house, what happens if they don't send over the articles to the united states senate? >> what happens is nothing for it lands with a thud. it's like a tree that falls in the forest with no one there to hear it. look, there is a i do not understand why she did what she did, but it makes no sense. in any event, i'm with ted cruz on this. i say bring it on to throw us in that briar patch. it's just fine if she does not want to do it. nancy pelosi is doing this because she's scared to death. this thing is a gigantic hobgoblin for her. she's freaked out by it and she does not want to entrust us with conducting a trial. why? she knows it'll end very badly for her. >> jason: the argument that john ratcliffe makes the same time the democrats in the house and nancy pelosi are saying this, it's overwhelming, obvious to anybody who looks at it that the people you si

to the standoff we talk to senator mike lee about it and here is what he said. >> this is not. they just impeached the president of the united states, now it is our turn to have a trial. if they are threatening to refuse to deliver them what does that say about their commitment to following through on what they did? it is completely insane. shannon: they have argued all along the urgency, we can't wait on pending court cases because this president is an impending threat to democracy and the 2020 election being fair and transparent but now they slammed on the brakes and people are going to say on the right they weren't serious. >> that is exactly what people on the right would say. the thing is among the democrats there is a sense that if you give the articles of impeachment to mitch mcconnell mitch mcconnell has already said he can't be an impartial jury, he already said the president should not be impeached and chuck schumer who is the democratic minority leader in the senate said he would like to hear from people with firsthand knowledge of what happened including john bolton

someone who did to senator mike lee.e put horowitz on thei on the . >> you stated several times today you did not find testimonial evidence of bias to influence the fbi's decision to conduct these operations. >> it's not the lack of evidence that you are talking about, itself evidence of bias? >> we weren't in a position -- with the evidence we had, to make that conclusion. >> my point is, your lack of evidence here is not evidence that there was no bias. >> laura: did you hear what he said? i'm not ruling it out. contrary to all of the spin that we have heard, he can't rule out bias because he didn't have the ability to look more deeply into positive motives. all he had was what they said. were you biased? no, i wasn't. or look at the text messages they had come other than the lovebirds, page on strzok. >> look, we don't need the inspector general to tell us if there is bias, we can look at the things director comey, director brennan have said. listen to them on cnn. listen to their tweets. are they nonpolitical? oh, my
